In this world
People are anxious and full of fear
Owned by guilt, companions of hunger
Why all this injustice?

Where there are wounds
Where there’s a sad lost heart
Help me oh Lord
To give joy to the poor
To encourage the sad
And to wipe away the tears
---- The Original english version ----
Sometimes I wonder
Original English version by Mark and Helen Johnson, Out of the Ark Music

Sometimes I wonder why people suffer,
Why all the pain and sorrow?
So much injustice, weeping and sadness,
Here in our world today.

Pain won’t be here forever,
Sadness will turn to laughter,
Mourning will turn to dancing
And our tears will be wiped away.

Looking around me I see such anger,
Why must we hurt each other?
So many people living in sadness,
Here in our world today.

Where there is heartache,
Where there is grieving,
I want to feel compassion.
May I give comfort
Where there is hurting,
May I bring love again.

Chorus:
Jesus is the answer .... Jesus is the answer .... Jesus is Hope

You, who are thinking of suicide
You think you are a nobody
You hurry towards the grave
STOP!
He is the way, the truth and the life
It’s for your sake He died and was crucified
To give you life He rose again
Oh, miserable one, you who are groaning in pain, helpless, sad, hopeless and abandoned by all
Jesus offers out His hand to you…

Chorus

All the doors close before you
Wherever you go you are humiliated and insulted
Dead and alive, covered but naked
You no longer feel like a human being
Too much blame on you, too much injustice and defeat, you are anxious and lost
But God says to you: Get up quickly! Get up…

Chorus

You spent your life wandering in the streets
Satan tells you that it’s too late now, there’s no more escape
“Why do you still live? Go end your life quickly!”
But God says to you: I am here… I am here

3He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
(Isaiah 53:3-4).
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
(Matthew 11: 28)

These are the words of the Messiah,
He who never told a lie,
Who never did anyone wrong
Who never spoke an insult
Who has been as humble as he?
Who has been capable of love as strong as his?
He knows the weight of tiredness, of humiliation
He feels that oppression, which burns in the heart
